Enjoy a night without the kids with DHDC’s Parents’ Night Out
Caregivers can register their children for Parents’ Night Out, with dinner included, and let the kids learn and explore new science topics throughout the night!
Amarillo, TX – From 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm on August 8, DHDC is offering a chance for children ages 4-11 years old to engage with their exciting experiments, exhibits, and amazing animals, so caregivers can enjoy a night to themselves before school starts again. Dinner is also included for all registered participants. This month’s Parents’ Night Out theme will be Splashtacular. Caregivers should plan to bring swimsuits and towels with their kids during drop off. Registrants will enjoy the sunshine in DHDC’s outdoor park while playing with the provided water games and activities.
Caregivers are encouraged to register soon at DHDC.org as spots are limited. Dinner will also be provided by the 2025-2026 sponsor: Chick-fil-a on Gem Lake. Registrants will enjoy their nuggets and chips during the evening and subsequent programs through June 2026.
